Earthbound Coming to the Wii U Virtual Console

Perhaps the most shocking news from today’s Nintendo Direct was that Earthbound would finally be headed to the Wii U’s new Virtual Console. Yeah, this is MEGA news for those who have been begging for a re-release for the past four generations.

There are not a ton of details aside from the fact that it will drop for all regions worldwide on the Wii U’s eShop by the end of the year, but come on – this is stuff worth celebrating over. After a lot of false hope, wishing, and waiting, Nintendo have answered a lot of prayers with one meager release – proving that our voices are now being heard.
